The Advanced Eye Examination is the most comprehensive level of examination that we offer and utilises all of our diagnostic technology with our highly skilled practitioners.
Our optometrist will assess your vision and establish if you need spectacles or if you require a change in your current spectacle prescription. We use an advanced OCT retinal scanner to see much further into the eye giving us a more comprehensive view.
Dilation eye drops may be required which can leave you a little blurry for a few hours after your appointment so we would always suggest you avoid driving for this time.
The appointment will last between 40 to 60 minutes and you may need more time if you plan to change your glasses. The appointment fee is £80. There is no charge for our ‘EyePlan Advance’ members or for anyone who joins.
